Thousands of years later, people will miss the name Li Ke, he is like a beautiful melody in the historical picture scroll. In the long course of history, Li Ke is talented, daring to take risks, and seeking national security, what kind of outstanding and extraordinary qualities does he have? What events did he leave us with deep and unforgettable memories? Or, did he perfectly inherit Li Shimin's statecraft strategy, or did he create his own great achievements with his unique cultural and martial arts?
First of all, allow me to lead you back to the moment when the princess of the Sui Dynasty entered the deep palace and Li Ke embarked on a legendary journey. In the spring of the second year of Wude, Li Shimin married Yang as his concubine. Yang's style is exquisite, gentle and considerate, and he is deeply favored by Li Shimin. The husband and wife are like glue, and soon after marriage, they ushered in Li Ke, a precious son. When Yang took Li Ke to the palace, Li Shimin stared at the lovely child in front of him, his eyes full of joy. Li Ke's eyes widened, curiously looking at everything around him, Li Shimin happily teased him, making Li Ke, who was originally waiting to be fed, babble and learn to speak, causing Li Shimin to laugh, and Yang Guifei looked at this warm picture with affection. That night, Li Shimin ordered the ** around him to send Li Ke's birthday to the Taishi official in charge of the astronomical calendar, and after careful identification, the Taishi reported to Li Shimin excitedly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Li Ke is an official with talent and intelligence, and his future is limitless! ”
Later, time flies, and Li Ke has already toddled and experienced a lot of things. Li Ke is smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by his parents. In order to allow Li Ke to inherit the noble bloodline, Li Shimin decreed that Li Ke should be canonized as the king of Changsha County, and at the same time personally selected the best teachers to teach him to study. Li Ke seems to have endless curiosity, full of love for life, and works extra hard to learn. Whether it is calligraphy or literature, he devotes himself to it, and never gives up even if his hands are sore. Li Shimin often pays attention to Li Ke's academic progress, and sometimes even finds that Li Ke's legs are numb and unconscious because of studying at the desk for a long time. It is such a strict education method that has allowed Li Ke to lay a solid foundation, and he is determined to assist his father Li Shimin in governing the world in the future.
As he grew older, Li Ke's talent and agility became more and more apparent. He was not only good at poetry and songs, but also had excellent military talents. Li Shimin admired him and regarded him as the best heir to the crown prince. In a large-scale competition between Korean and Chinese scholars, Li Ke's wonderful defense after listening to it made Li Shimin full of praise. After that, Li Shimin valued Li Ke more and intended to make him the crown prince. But the factional strife in the court ** put Li Ke in a predicament.
At this turning point in history, Li Shimin ignored the fact that the power struggle within the imperial court had reached a white-hot stage, and all forces were actively plotting to succeed the prince they supported. After Li Ke's position as the crown prince was revealed, he was immediately resolutely opposed by the ministers led by the eldest grandson Wuji and others. The eldest grandson, Wuji, was deeply disturbed, and he was afraid that if Li Ke ascended to the throne, it would threaten his position of power in the imperial court, so he began to slander and suppress Li Ke by any means. At the court meeting, he picked a bone in the egg and accused Li Ke of playing a typo; At social events, he condemned Li Ke for not being good at interacting with people, which made Li Ke embarrassed in public. However, even so, Li Shimin was powerless to stop the despicable behavior of the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China were on his side, and the eldest grandson Wuji acted in a covert manner, which made Li Shimin at a loss.
Li Shimin did not expect that the struggle between the factions in the court would be so fierce that several powerful ministers were secretly planning to make their men the begotten of the throne. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Chengqian was deposed and exiled for violating the law and discipline, and the eldest grandson Wuji seized the opportunity to report to Li Shimin that Li Ke was suspected of plotting to usurp the throne. Li Ke saw his efforts in vain, and was eventually relegated to becoming a commoner. After going through all kinds of hardships, Li Ke deeply felt the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, and the impermanence of the world. In that era of change, power disputes, and deceit, can this noble-born prince transcend the ups and downs of history and eventually become a well-known hero?
In the long river of ancient history, there is no shortage of characters like Li Ke, and there are thousands of princes who have experienced ups and downs and vicissitudes. However, their fates are often subject to the vicissitudes of the times, and Li Ke's life is no exception. In that complicated era, with changes in the situation and power disputes, can this illustrious prince escape the changes of history and become a hero?
